Print Recipe

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 cup sushi rice
  • 1 1/4 cups water
  • 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon sugar
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 12 large shrimp, peeled and deveined
  • 2 tablespoons mayonnaise
  • 1 tablespoon sriracha sauce
  • 1 avocado, diced
  • 1/4 cup cucumber, finely chopped
  • 2 green onions, sliced
  • 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  • 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  • 1 tablespoon sesame seeds
  • Pickled ginger, for serving
  • Wasabi, for serving

Instructions

  1. Rinse sushi rice under cold water until water runs clear. Combine rice and water in a pot; bring to a boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 18 minutes. Remove from heat and let stand covered for 10 minutes.
  2. In a small bowl, mix rice vinegar, sugar, and salt until dissolved. Gently fold into cooked rice and let cool to room temperature.
  3. In another bowl, combine mayonnaise and sriracha to create the spicy sauce. Toss shrimp in sesame oil, then sauté in a hot pan until pink and cooked through, about 2-3 minutes per side. Toss shrimp with half the spicy sauce.
  4. To assemble stacks, use a round mold or ring: layer a few spoonfuls of sushi rice at the bottom, press gently; add a layer of diced avocado, then a layer of spicy shrimp; repeat layers as desired. Remove mold carefully.
  5. Top each stack with chopped cucumber, green onions, a drizzle of remaining spicy sauce, a sprinkle of sesame seeds, and a dash of soy sauce.
  6. Serve immediately with pickled ginger and wasabi on the side.

Notes

For extra crunch, add thinly sliced tempura flakes between layers or garnish with toasted nori strips.
